[Verse 1]
You told me that I was not ready
Was that your way to keep me down?
The burden that you laid was heavy
Now you wanna try to come around
You didn't think that I would remember
Remember all the ways you lied
They say the brightest stars burn the fastest
So I'm about to shimmer and shine

[Chorus]
Look at me! How could you forget
This is what you left!
Buried me in dirt and gravel
What do you see? Do you see a victim
Caught up in a system
Casted to the darkest shadows
I used to be shackled, bound and tied up
Now I'm 'bout to rise up
Yeah, you know that you're in trouble
So look at me! No more living in confinement
Don't you know your time's up
Ever since I rose from the rubble
Look at me, look at me
What do you see? Now you're in trouble
Look at me, look at me
What do you see? A rose in the rubble
[Verse 2]
You must've made a deal with the devil
To try to keep me underground
I'm digging my way to the surface
Just so I can run you down
The voices in my head are screaming
I better not forgive or forget (No way)
That's the good thing about vengeance
You don't have to live with regret

[Chorus]
Look at me! How could you forget
This is what you left!
Buried me in dirt and gravel
What do you see? Do you see a victim
Caught up in a system
Casted to the darkest shadows
I used to be shackled, bound and tied up
Now I'm 'bout to rise up
Yeah, you know that you're in trouble
So look at me! No more living in confinement
Don't you know your time's up
Ever since I rose from the rubble
Look at me, look at me
What do you see? Now you're in trouble
Look at me, look at me
What do you see? A rose in the rubble
[Outro]
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You are never gonna keep me down
(I get knocked down) Look at me
(But I get up again) Look at me
(You are never gonna keep me down) What do you see?
Now you're in trouble
Look at me, look at me
What do you see? A rose in the rubble
